Each week, a motley crew of musicians, listeners and straight up rock and roll legends gets together to create a Void community playlist. This week’s is all about summertime. The kind of songs that keep you psyched on long journeys, that help you sink into the sand a little deeper. Riffs that resonate with warm weather and good times. Punk rock gems, sexy psychedelic moments, straight up rock and lots more. Start with Jimi Hendrix’s “Castles Made of Sand” then duck your head under the waves. These summer songs could best be summarised in the immortal words of Gonzo legend, Hunter S. Thompson: “Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish—a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow—to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested . . .Let the good times roll.”
